In the video above, a special agent from the FBI tells AP "there have been no credible threats that we've developed regarding the NATO summit or the City of Chicago this weekend." That's odd, because the FBI was reportedly involved in surveiling and arresting the three anti-NATO protesters who have been charged with possession of bombs, conspiracy and material support for terrorism.

Chicago police don't have a problem destroying our privacy in public by watching us everywhere we go on thousands of face recognition-enabled surveillance cameras. But they really don't like it when the tables are turned. Watch above.
